Critter
I saw you struggling out the corner of my eye. So I picked a little leaf and flipped you over. You tried to climb up the wall so I helped. I put you on the ledge, under the hanging lamp on the pillar. I walked around and when I was back. You were flipped over again and struggling. After another walk round the block. You were flipped again and I helped. This continued until I found you dead. Did you know you were dying? Did you see the bright yellow light above and think of it as the sun? Did you wish to bathe in the warmth? Did you wish to kiss it's halo one last time? Did you notice that it was a bit too yellow? That there was no heat? Did you ever turn to see the thousands of suns scattered up and about? Or did you know better and simply wish to be close to your one? Did you wish for the light to distract you from the fact that yours was dimming?
